Me:\u00a0 Prodigal, are you enjoying your time with Brady?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes, we are becoming very close right now.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I can see that, that ties into what I was reading about relationships.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Dropping Your Guard by Charles Swindoll<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unguarded, open relationships within the body of Christ are just as important as the nourishing, accurate dispensing of scriptural truth.\u00a0 We need both.\u00a0 There must be meaningful fellowship, not just scholarship.\u00a0 To have one without the other results in an unbalanced and unhealthy church.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I long for this balance in my life and we all need to make sure we have this balance also.\u00a0 Maybe we should pray and ask God how we can work balance of this in our life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Deuteronomy 5:12<\/p>\n

Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.<\/p>\n
